Transfer Credit Information

Prerequisite course requirements for CPA PEP and ACAF entry and technical courses can also be met through accredited programs at post-secondary institutions. Please see the links below for provincial transfer guides for post-secondary institutions in Western Canada:

CPA transfer credit guides are reviewed regularly. When a change is made, the old requirement is valid for two years after the new requirement is published. The transfer credit guide will reflect the updated requirement and when it takes effect. For example:

XYZ University

Intermediate Management Accounting ACCT 123¹+ACCT 456¹ + ACCT 789

Performance Management ACCT 101² + ACCT 102² + ACCT 789

¹ ACCT 123 + ACCT 456 were added in November 2016. However, ACCT 789 alone will be honoured for the Intermediate Management Accounting prerequisite, provided a CPA PEP Transcript Assessment is requested before November 30, 2018. After November 30, 2018, all three courses must be completed for transfer credit to be granted. *

² ACCT 101 and ACCT 102 were added in December 2016. However, ACCT 789 alone will be honoured for the Performance Management Accounting prerequisite, provided a CPA PEP Transcript Assessment is requested before December 31, 2018. After December 31, 2018, all three courses must be completed for transfer credit to be granted. *

*For success in CPA PEP, students are encouraged to complete the current requirements or at minimum be responsible for gap coverage through CPA PEP Module zero material and/or other sources.
